Adopt Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Nala is a young female dog from Romania who definitely needs a lot of time to adjust to her new home. She has developed strategies to keep people at a distance. Once she gets to know someone, it’s okay for them to touch her with the tip of their finger occasionally. Once her heart is won, she’s ready for anything. In her previous home, she tended to shield certain family members. Therefore, she should receive a lot of calmness, time, and consistency. A well-fenced property where she can settle in until the relationship is built up would be beneficial. She is not suitable for a family, but we would welcome her as a sovereign second dog. Nala will be rehomed through the organization Kettenlos e.V. and is currently living with us.

Nala ist eine junge Hündin aus Rumänien die definitiv sehr viel Zeit im neuen zu Hause braucht. Sie hat Strategien entwickelt um sich Menschen vom Leib zu halten. Wenn sie einen erstmal kennengelernt hat, ist es für sie ok auch ab und an mal mit der Fingerspitze berührt zu werden. Wenn man ihr Herz erobert hat, dann ist sie für alles bereit. In ihrem zu Hause neigte sie dazu, einzelne Familienmitglieder abzuschirmen. Man sollte deshalb viel Ruhe, Zeit und Konsequenz in sie investieren. Ein gut eingezäuntes Grundstück, wo sie erstmal sein kann bis die Beziehung aufgebaut ist, wäre von Vorteil. Für eine Familie ist sie nicht geeignet, ein souveräner Zweithund hingegen würden wir begrüßen. Nala wird über den Verein Kettenlos e.V. vermittelt und wohnt derzeit bei uns.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundertpfoten Hotel in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nala, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nala?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundertpfoten Hotel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nala on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nala if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundertpfoten Hotel will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nala already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nala isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hundertpfoten Hotel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nala and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
